Radarr won't add a new imdb title [Help]
  • It doesn't exist on TMDB, which is what radarr actually uses when you search.

    I would just manually add it in my media library directory and import to jellyfin (in my case, don't know what you use)

  • Messed up folder structure for arrs

    I just realised yesterday that the size of my media library was growing significantly faster than anticipated. The culprit seems to be that hard linking doesn't work in radarr and sonarr because I messed up the folder structure of my docker containers, so they've been copying everything to my media folders instead.

    Now, the real issue is that my media folders are a mix of and older collection (manually sorted) and the new parts that has been added through radarr/sonarr, so I can't just nuke that and re-import everything from my torrents folder once I've fixed the folder structure. I don't want to nuke the torrents folder because I want to keep seeding all my downloads (most through private trackers, so I need the download credit it creates), but the imported library in my media folders has all the files renamed and many rearranged.

    What's the easiest way to fix this? There's about 8tb of actual data, without duplicates, I have 6tb of unused disk space left.

    How to carrier level block all calls and texts to a phone number, to only allow data, to force others to use Signal?
  • AFAIK this is not possible for a working number. Failed dial tone and "text message not delivered" are handled on the carrier level, if you block a number then they'll just get a "busy" tone when calling and nothing when texting. You can't blanket reject everything while retaining data, unless you disconnect from cellular and only use WiFi.

  • 2 life pro tips in one meme!
  • I'm seriously baffled by the amount of people in this thread having issues with something as simple as boiling plain rice. What the hell, its not fucking rocket science. Do you have trouble boiling pasta too!?

  • 2 life pro tips in one meme!
  • Just turn down the heat when it starts boiling and you won't have any mess at all. Boiling pretty much anything without using a lid is just plain dumb and a waste of energy. The only exception being if the point of boiling is to reduce water content.

  • 2 life pro tips in one meme!
  • Add rice and water in a 1:2 ratio (by volume, eg. 2dl rice to 4dl water for 3-4 people), add salt and heat to a boil. When it boils, turn down heat so it only just simmers slightly and wait until no excess water is left. Keep the lid on the whole time. This method works with jasmin and basmati white rice for me.

  • Miss me with that low bitrate
  • I seem to have more than a handful that still work without issues. I only need my private trackers to fins old or special things. Anything recently released is readily available and sonarr/radarr finds it.

  • So telesyncs are still a thing?
  • Man I fucking hate telesyncs...I accidentally downloaded a TS deadpool&wolverine because I got so exited when I saw it that I didn't read the title properly so I didn't notice the "TS". I was so disappointed when I wanted to watch that and found out it was TS. 100% my own fault, but still sucked.

  • Reminder: seeders, please seed on I2P
  • If there was a completely zero percent risk that I would be used as a node for something truly horrible, I also wouldn't mind. But I'd rather torrent with a slightly elevated risk rather than enabling things that should not be enabled. By torrenting with a VPN, at least I have the control over what happens on my network and exactly what data I'm part of sharing.

  • Reminder: seeders, please seed on I2P
  • VPNs log your IP.

    But they don't log the data going through. The IP alone will not be enough for a conviction at all. They also need to prove that you acquired/shared copyrighted content. Any proper VPN isn't going to log that.

    But if you think like that I suppose you aren't very interested in running TOR relays or exits either.

    No, I'm not at all interested in that either. I don't want to risk any nefarious traffic that I have no control over running through my network.

    I get the appeal of I2P for torrenting and I can absolutely see the value it can bring. But as long as I will have to be a node for other random peoples traffic, I'll pass.

  • Reminder: seeders, please seed on I2P
  • A good VPN won't have any details to hand over that will convict you, even if they wanted to (e.g. mullvad), so they most definitely are enough.

    And police are not going after citizens, rights holders are (like they always have been) by suing ISPs in hopes of getting your info.

    What in don't like about I2P, is being a node for other peoples traffic.

  • Reminder: seeders, please seed on I2P
  • A proper VPN provider is sufficient to protect against this though. If you, as a Swedish citizen, weren't already using a VPN, you were being an idiot.

    I mean, it still makes sense to also use I2P, but it is currently not good enough as a full replacement.

  • Spawn #2 printed huge on hueforge by Uncle Jessy
  • The surface is flat, it's absolutely 2D art. Whatever thickness the material has is pretty irrelevant WRT 2D v. 3D when there is no spacial quality to the piece. This cool, but it is no more 3D art than a regular painting or laser edged piece of wood.

  • VPN and tailscale blocked on hotel wifi

    I'm travelling for the moment, and usually I just access my home network with tailscale and it has always worked flawlessly. But the hotel I'm staying at apparently blocks VPN connections, I can't use my regular VPN for work on their network either and I've tried obfuscation,different ports etc. nothing seems to work and it never connects.

    How can I circumvent this, if at all? I'm staying for several weeks, so this is a pretty bug issue.

    How do you handle backup?

    I'm running my media server with a 36tb raid5 array with 3 disks, so I do have some resilience to drives failing. But currently can only afford to loose a single drive at a time, which got me thinking about backups. Normally I'd just do a backup to my NAS, but that quickly gets ridiculous for me with the size of my library, which is significantly larger than my NAS storage of only a few tb. And buying cloud storage is much too expensive for my liking with these amounts of storage.

    Do you backup only the most valuable parts of your library?

    Heavy sweaters, how do you cope?

    I sweat a lot when I exercise. After an hour of running at medium intensity (~150bpm avg HR) in 20°C @ 50% humidity, I am literally drenched in sweat. I can wring my clothes and sweat will pour from it. It's difficult to find clothes that are comfortable to wear for my long trips.

    Jellyfin wrongly identifies show and messes up metadata

    I want to add Pokemon Journeys to my jellyfin server, but jellyfin fucks up everything because it thinks it the regular Pokémon show from 1997 and imports metadata for that.

    How can I fix this so it shows up correctly in jellyfin?

    Tdarr AMD GPU transcoding...how?

    I've been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I'm finding online is people using nvidia cards...well, I don't have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that's extremely uncommon and I can't find any working solutions.

    Edit: I'm running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.

    Edit 2: I've gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.

    Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.

    gluetun VPN health check fails after a few hours

    My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours.

    How can i fix this?

    docker compose: !

    gluetun log: !

    Do i need to run sonarr and radarr behind my VPN?

    I've started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
